Chapter 66
"Let me introduce you to Nicole Robin, an O'Hara scholar and a doctorate holder in history. She is also my sister. She will teach you cultural knowledge from now on. Don't worry, she is a very good person and knowledgeable. She basically understands all the knowledge in the books."
A warm smile was given to little Kuina. Master did a good job, right?
Kuina was a little upset. Master, you misunderstood. Then she asked weakly.
"Master, do I have to learn all this? Do we all have to do this when learning swords?"
"Of course, our school takes the path of unity of knowledge and action. We must know that knowing is the idea of action, and action is the effort of knowing; knowing is the beginning of action, and action is the completion of knowledge.
It is difficult to act, and it is difficult to learn knowledge. What I am passing on to you now is knowledge and morality. In the future, you must practice the knowledge and morality you have learned when you use the sword. Do you understand?"
"How to practice with a sword?"
"Make the disobedient people obedient when they see your sword. Is it considered practice?"
Kuina was confused. This master seemed to be fooling people, but people are under the eaves.
"Okay."
"Okay, you are worthy of being my good apprentice. Study slowly. There will be exams every month in the future. Hahaha."
Kuina had to slowly study under Robin's supervision to get through this painful time, and practice swordsmanship with Noah in the afternoon.
The class finally ended at noon. Although the introductory knowledge was not difficult, reading books was really uncomfortable for Kuina, who was used to holding a sword. Even if she read books before, she read kendo classics and the like.
Teacher Robin's supervision was also very strict. Even when she was busy with her own things, she could still find her laziness. Sometimes a brain crash would hit her forehead.
Kuina will never forget the horror when she saw a hand growing out of the table for the first time. Her SAN value dropped wildly and her evil feeling was directly maxed out. She screamed and pulled out her wooden sword to fight back against this strange hand, but she was hit by a white blade with her bare hands. She admitted that she was confused at the time. How could such a weird thing catch her sword? Was all these years of kendo practice fake?
The self-doubt didn't last long, because the strange hand threw down the wooden sword and gave her a head bang, which was super painful, as if she was hit by a small hammer, and she rolled on the ground in pain.
She should feel lucky that when Robin was teaching on the Resurrection Island, her methods were much more vicious than now. The guys in the boot camp are all one in a million in physical fitness, and their ability to withstand blows is still good, so entry-level moves such as head bang are rarely used. The big bidou technique, passive head hanging beam and passive cone piercing thigh are all forte.
After the pain subsided a little, Kuina looked at Noah who was biting and laughing beside her, and Robin who seemed to know nothing, and was very depressed.
She probably knew that this was the devil fruit ability user her father mentioned, and the ability was indeed weird and unpredictable, and it was hard to defend against. Recalling that it was a female palm, so it was... Teacher Robin! ?
Really, pretending to know nothing, how could Teacher Robin be so black-bellied?
"Ah, I've been discovered, but Kuina's reaction is so funny, hehe." Robin covered her mouth and chuckled. Under the skin of a gentle big sister, she is very sinister. Kuina could only sigh and get up to continue reading. Once she was lazy, she would be hit by a head crash. No matter how she dodged, it was within the expectation of that palm, as if she had bumped into it herself. Is teacher Robin so strong? In terms of observation Haki alone, Robin is indeed very strong. Her Flower-Flower Fruit also enhances observation Haki, and her information collection ability is MAX. It's really an exaggeration to catch a lazy person. Kuina was a little dazed after class, and it took a while to recover. After lunch and resting for a while, Kuina came to the back mountain of Shimotsuki Village and was extremely excited. She could finally practice kendo seriously. "Master, what should we do first?" Noah took out a book from his arms and opened it. Kuina felt a sense of disillusionment at this time. Why was she reading again? She wants to learn the move of the sword that opens the sky!
"Hmm~ I'll take a look and find it. Sorry, this book was written a long time ago and I haven't read it much."
"Kendo secret book?"
"Yes, I wrote it myself when I entered the realm of swordsmanship. How about "Kendo Detailed Explanation, From Beginner to Swordsmanship", is the name easy to understand?"
"Uh, yes."
Guina, who has roughly understood Noah's style, easily copes with this book name that has no sense of sophistication.
"I gave this book to your father before, but he doesn't seem to use it. I don't know why, so I will use the knowledge organized in it to give preliminary teaching."
In fact, it's not that Koshiro doesn't use this book, but even if this book lowers the threshold for practice, not many people in this small gym in the East China Sea can meet the conditions.
One is basic qualifications, most of them are still not enough, and they can't go far in kendo, so they naturally don't need it. The second is material conditions, some food supplements, some medicine supplements, many people with sufficient qualifications, family conditions do not support. The third is character, which is also the most difficult hurdle in screening. Over the years, there have been some people who met the above two conditions, but failed to pass the character hurdle.
This is not a simple self-defense swordsmanship, but an all-round system that can produce a swordsman early. Koushiro does not want to teach a person without moral character in the end. Such a swordsman will only kill endlessly, which is inconsistent with his Their temperaments are not consistent, so only three or five people have received private guidance over the years.
It's a pity that not everyone is lucky enough to make it to the end. Some people give up on swordsmanship in the end, some go out to sea and get killed, and some get greedy and want to grab books and are killed.
Finally, until now, no one from Shuangyue Gym has truly completed the journey of being a swordsman. It seems that this book is more suitable for big forces, with good training conditions and basic protection during the growth stage, so that the success rate is high.
As for Kuina, it was because she was laying the foundation of Shuangyue Kendo before and had not yet reached the bottom line to take the next path. This time, it was a certainty that Noah would teach her personally.
Chapter 127 Weighing Red Hair
A month later, Kuina was stabbing leaves in the woods. A wooden sword was as fast as the wind, steady and accurate. This was Noah's request. She was practicing seriously.
Guina has good talent and a solid foundation, and she will be able to move to the next step soon. During this period, except for the occasional green algae head, no one bothered Kuina. According to Sauron, he didn't come here specially, he just came here while walking. Noah believed this.
Noah was not idle during this period, but slowly mastered the strength he had just broken through, started practicing from the basics again, and then returned to the realm of a great swordsman day by day, finally mastering the current realm of swordsmanship.
With his current mastery of the sword, Overlord Color Coil can be used easily. But the sword that cut the sky that day still didn't work. When the breakthrough was made, it was the result of so many years of accumulation of swordsmanship. Now that it has returned to normal, it no longer has the power to soar to the sky that day, so it is still necessary to continue to accumulate energy.
Watching Guina getting better, Noah came to the side and prepared to talk to Long. It took a month before he remembered that Helong was showing off his strength. Noah felt that he was really a low-key man.
He took out the encrypted phone bug and looked at the appearance of the software phone bug. He was wondering when Dr. Tsukimi's communicator would be ready. He really didn't like this thing. Although it was a bit ugly and cute, he always felt sick. Terrestrial animals of the class Pedopods have mucus, which makes them feel particularly uncomfortable.
I look forward to the doctor researching it quickly. I don’t count on smart phones. A big brother is always possible. The basic principles have been explained to Dr. Tsukimi. Many technologies in the communication system already exist in this world and are very mature. They can cooperate with the terminal number 0. The base station, the communication system belonging to the revolutionary army, should be available soon.
"Brumuru, burubru."
When the call was connected, the phone bug turned serious in an instant.
"Noah? What's going on?"
"It's nothing big. I just made some breakthroughs in the East China Sea, and then I accepted a young apprentice."
"Apprentice? Kuina?"
"Um, how did you know?"
"On the first night in Shuoyue Village, Koushiro mentioned this matter. I thought you would definitely accept it, so I didn't say anything."
Damn, is this guy so taciturn? What if I confiscate it? Oh, it’s okay if you don’t accept it. You can still practice swordsmanship if you take it to the Island of Resurrection, and there will still be various conditions to satisfy her. This dragon is quite cunning.
The dragon over there was quite speechless. He thought it was something big, and he had to be embarrassed to accept a disciple? He now knew something about the revolutionary lights.
Although the previous image he gave people was that he was bold and crazy, fanatical and strategic, but overall he was stable and passionate. But he is still a young man at heart. Sometimes the behavior is a bit in line with young people, and the dragon will be very happy.
Dragging the Revolutionary Army all the way to this day, he is still able to find joy under the heavy pressure of the World Government. This is a very tenacious mental state. He has rarely laughed since he became the leader of the Revolutionary Army.
By the way, Noah just said that there was a slight breakthrough in strength? Could it be...
On the other side of Shuangyue Village, the cold expression of the phone bug slowly collapsed.
"By the way, Noah...what do you mean when you say your strength has made some breakthrough?"
"Oh, it's nothing, I just broke through to the great swordsman, hahaha, it's a small matter, a low profile."
... There was no sound from the other end of the phone. Is this a disconnection?
The call was not dropped, but he was just a little surprised for a moment. Long Zai tried his best to control his expression and did not want the phone bug to convey his devastated expression to the other party, but there was a pleasant breeze around him. He was truly a person who brought miracles.
"Noah, you did a great job."
No matter how Long suppressed him, when he saw Phone Bug's expression gradually distorting, Noah seemed to see the serious macho man hiding his joy.
So happy, it seems that the pressure on Long is not small. With another official general-level combat force, the revolutionary army's foundation has once again been strengthened, and the gap with the world government's high-end combat power has once again narrowed.
"Ahem, let's drink together when you come back."
"OK."
No, what do you mean by waiting for me to come back? Noah had an ominous premonition.
"Long, where are you now?"
"The Island of Resurrection. The latest intelligence shows that there will be Celestial Dragons coming to the East China Sea to play. You know the World Government's murderous intentions towards the two of us. If both of us are active in the East China Sea, the target will be too big, so I will come back first. . When you return to the Island of Life, I will go to the East China Sea to do some business."
Damn it, you're done. Why did he return to the Island of Rebirth? He's already in the East China Sea. Why don't you go to the Kingdom of Goa to meet your son? Your son is being led astray by his red hair!
What about Saab, get blown to pieces and then fed to the fish? After failing to resist his noble parents, he went to sea and sank, thus killing the amnesiac staff officer of the revolutionary army.
Moreover, the plot has been changed so much, Mariejoia has been beaten twice, and there are still Tianlong people who dare to come out and wander around. This is looking down on the enemies of my world. My hands are a little itchy. This is a breakthrough for the great swordsman. I have to cut some. What kind of commemoration is there? I don’t know if one Celestial Dragon is enough...
Since the dragon is not here, I have to do it on my own. In the place where destiny begins, I will use the blood of the Creator to forge the name of a great swordsman. Done!
"Hey, Noah, what's up?"
"It's okay, it's just the Celestial Dragon's dog head, I want it."
"Oh, it's up to you. It's fine."
"goodbye."
The big event that shocked the sea was settled in these few words, and the courage of the strong man was vividly displayed.
Pulling out the word "Wado" and looking at the patterns on the sword, he still remembered what Koshiro said he would make its name resound across the sea. In the past, I was famous for my big events. Let’s try using pure force this time.
This year, Windmill Village can be described as a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. The whole ship of the red-haired pirates is there. Afterwards, Garp will return to Windmill Village and leave Luffy to the bandit Dadan to take care of. Finally, the Celestial Dragons will come to the Kingdom of Goa.
Red hair, strong swordsman, a fight wouldn't be too much. Not only can you learn some knowledge on the path to becoming a great swordsman, but the risk to your life is not high, you can start this. The general-level floor tiles took the initiative to trip up the future Fourth Emperor.
Forget it about Garp, just avoid it for the time being. If you fight Garp, it will be a life and death battle between the two forces. This kind of battle is not the time now.
Noah instinctively felt that something was wrong with the Celestial Dragon who came to the Kingdom of Goa. The World Government is not a fool, so there may be an ambush. Find out the situation in advance. If things cannot be done, give up. If there is a chance, kill by force. To show the rest of the Tianlong people, this is the fate of a street kid.
So at this moment, go to the meeting alone and weigh the red hair!
Chapter 128 The Place of Destiny
In the East China Sea, outside the Windmill Village, Noah came here alone in a small boat. It was just an ordinary boat, without the style of Eagle Eye. I strongly suspect that Hawkeye ordered many of the same coffin boats so that the style could continue.
I originally hoped to encounter the king of offshore waters, but the result was only calm seas and bad reviews. If the king of the offshore sea is killed, how can the red hair entrust his arm to the new era and let the bandit king bite his arm off?
What a pity, Noah continued paddling towards the windmill village.
finally reached.
Tie the boat carefully with the cable. Is this considered movable or immovable property? The ship next to it is... the Red Firth. It's quite big, and the red dragon head is quite domineering, but it's a bit old-fashioned. He seems to be a traditional person.
When we walked to Windmill Village, the village was quite peaceful, but there were relatively few people. It was no different from most villages in the East China Sea. There were quite a few windmills, and I don’t know if they were considered unique. The name of the village was also quite realistic. Shuangyue Village and so on are too artistic and unsociable.
Walking in the village, Noah responded with a relaxed smile when facing the curious eyes of the villagers. His harmless appearance made everyone put down some of their worries.
‘This young man looks ordinary and has nothing but a sword. Is he traveling? ’
After all, Windmill Village is Garp's hometown. It is well protected and has never been attacked by pirates. Therefore, the simple and honest folk customs are terrifying. This is also one of the reasons why Luffy became a single-cell early, because in this village, there is no brain. Can survive. It is a place with a very high happiness index.
After asking a passerby and finding out the way to the pub, Noah walked slowly over.
Walking closer, I found that the atmosphere inside the only tavern in the village was quite lively. Hang out in the pub during the day? As expected, he is very red-haired. If he doesn't hold a party for a day, he will meet the Death Star people.
"Crunch~~"
Pushing open the door of the tavern, I saw the scene inside. The red-haired man and the crew were joking around a kid, teasing the children and making them angry. He was truly the freest man on the sea. He really didn’t care about face.
So, a man who doesn’t care about face is the most honorable man in the world?
"My fists are as fast as bullets, Shanks!"
"Okay, okay, got it. Here, your juice."
"Oh, thank you."
Suck, suck, suck.
"Hahahahahaha, a kid is a kid."
"Damn it, Shanks, you..."
The fight as if no one was around was really enviable to Long. Of course it's Dragon. His son's relationship with other people far exceeds his. If something happens to Shanks, Luffy will definitely wake up and explode. If it were a dragon, he would probably be... angry?
It can be seen that this is not the first time this kind of bullying of children has happened. Even Shanks' crew members are a little speechless. Is the captain so fatherly? I really don’t know what’s going on, but if the captain really has a child, he mustn’t be as out-of-touch as his father.
At this time, Maginot broke this family time because she saw a new customer coming to the door. This is not easy. During this period, because Shanks has been staying in the tavern, no one else in the village dared to come.
Although Shanks appears to be approachable and polite, the reputation of pirates is such that even red-haired people will not get close to him if they are not annoying.
"This guest, would you like something to drink here?"
"rum."
